[PATCH v2 2/3] lib: glob.c: Add CONFIG_GLOB_SELFTEST

From: George Spelvin
Date: Fri Jun 06 2014 - 22:49:37 EST


This was useful during development, and is retained for future regression
testing.

GCC appears to have no way to place string literals in a particular
section; adding __initconst to a char pointer leaves the string itself
in the default string section, where it will not be thrown away after
module load.

Thus all string constants are kept in explicitly declared and named
arrays. Sorry this makes printk a bit harder to read. At least the
tests are more compact.

Persuading GCC to throw away *all* the self-test data after running
it was surprisingly annoying.

The one thing I'm not really sure about is what to do if the self-test
fails. For now, I make the module_init function fail too. Opinions?

+ This option enables a simple self-test of the glob_match
+ function on startup. It is primarily useful for people
+ working on the code to ensure they haven't introduced any

+
+ It only adds a little bit of code and slows kernel boot (or

+ it, but you probably don't need it.
